Patata — Eckbeisl & Bar, Landstraße, the 3rd

• Indoor
• Beer-focused
• Neighbourhood bar
• Pop-up kitchen
• 3rd district

Manuel Bartolacci and Britt Kamper have been running Alice in the 3rd district since early 2025 — an Italian-Scandinavian neighbourhood restaurant that established itself quickly and has stayed busy. But Bartolacci wanted something with a proper kitchen and more freedom, so they kept looking for a second space. In December 2025, an old Beisl and darts bar called All-In came available, no more than 200 metres from Alice. They took it.

The Space

The bar is staying as it was: 1960s furniture, the original counter, the bones of a real neighbourhood Beisl. There's no renovation theatre here, no exposed brick or Edison bulbs. Bartolacci and Kamper are repairing what needs fixing and repainting the walls, but the character of the place — the fact that it was a Beisl and still reads as one — is the whole point. The Schanigarten (outdoor seating) will stay too.

What You Drink

Bartolacci is a beer sommelier. The focus is on craft brews from Austria, Italy, and Denmark — not the obvious ones, but things worth tasting. Kamper is bringing Aquavit, the Scandinavian spirit, because it's what she knows and what she wants to drink. The rest of the drinks list is still being built, but it will be short and intentional. Snacks and small plates fill the gaps between beer and conversation.

The Kitchen Play

Once the kitchen is finished, Bartolacci and Kamper are opening it to guest chefs — friends from their Italian and Danish networks, people they've worked with or know well. The bar becomes a pop-up restaurant on those nights: sometimes a full menu with limited seats, sometimes street food over the counter, sometimes a dinner series. The format changes. The point is that the kitchen becomes a playground, not a fixed operation.

This is why the space matters. It's not a bar that occasionally does food. It's a bar with the infrastructure to host real cooking, run by people who know how to make that work without losing the bar's character.

Hours and Finding It

Open Tuesday to Saturday evenings. The exact hours are still being finalized — check @patata.wien on Instagram for current times and announcements about guest chefs. The address is Löwengasse 14 in the 3rd district, near the Weißgerberviertel.

In the margin

It's a real neighbourhood bar, not a concept bar pretending to be one.
